Atlanta is set to host two luxury events in 2025 that promise to elevate Black luxury culture: the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic and the Soul Symphony Weekend. Organized by designer and curator Miguel Wilson, these events will combine fashion, polo, and cultural experiences, featuring Bentleys, VIP helicopter arrivals, and performances from soul artists accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra.
In its eighth year, the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic aims to showcase international polo teams and highlight the achievements of the first Black high school polo players. Wilson has been dedicated to merging high fashion with the equestrian sport in order to promote inclusivity and representation of Black individuals in luxury spaces.
The events will enforce a carefully curated guest list and a white dinner jacket dress code, reflecting Wilson’s belief that luxury should remain exclusive. Attendees can expect sensory experiences including cinematic visuals, gourmet soul food, and carefully selected music. Notably, Camden Stewart, a London-based piano virtuoso and opera singer, will be performing alongside soul artists and a live orchestra, enhancing the artistic atmosphere.
Atlanta has been characterized as a melting pot of Black culture, allowing attendees to experience diverse lifestyles and artistic expressions. Wilson’s initiative is also noteworthy as he founded the first Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) polo team at Morehouse College and is bringing forth the debut of a Black high school polo team this year, expanding opportunities for young athletes.
One of the event highlights includes the Black Spirit Tasting Bar, featuring premium brands such as Greenwood Whiskey, Sukari Vodka, and Tik Capri Tequila, which guests will have the chance to sample. The events aim to attract international interest, with attendees anticipated from the UK, South Africa, and the Bahamas, fostering a global conversation around Black luxury and culture.
Wilson faces the challenge of motivating Black consumers to support Black luxury brands and fostering better representation in retail spaces. He advocates for young entrepreneurs to concentrate on creating authentic value instead of simply adhering to fleeting trends, as true experiences are what leave memorable impressions.
These events promise to deliver unforgettable experiences, blending fashion shows and entertainment while embodying the essence of Black luxury. Wilson highlights the idea that memorable experiences can significantly alter one’s perspective on luxury and life within the Black community.
